1960 Map of Hyatt Ranch

About this map

Taylor Ranch and Greer Ranch anchor this 1960 survey of Big Horn County, showcasing a landscape defined by its vital water sources and deep canyons. The map documents the transition from the arid Alkali Flats in the west to the dramatic incisions of Medicine Lodge Canyon in the east. Along the southern edge, Paint Rock Creek provides a fertile corridor for the Hyatt Ranch and the Pritchards Grove Picnic Area. This era of land management is reflected in the network of irrigation ditches and isolated gaging stations along the creeks. For those tracing local families, the Hyattville Cem is located near the intersection of several early access routes. Natural landmarks such as The Arch and numerous springs like Alkali Spring and Meyers Spring indicate the critical points for livestock and travel in this high-plains environment.
